Anyone have/dealing with postpartum anxiety?
I have a 4 year old and a newborn. It’s bad. I don’t want to take medicine. Need other moms who can relate!

I had it before with my first son and it came in slow then later at night it hit me hard I might asked my doctor during this pregnancy for medication bc i thought i could handle it and couldn't and i was gonna overdose my self and my man told me dont do it dont take the coward ways out you gonna leave me and your son wife and mom less but it's very hard
I’m sorry, I relate - I didn’t have suicidal thoughts that were strong. Just really disconnected and wanted to run away if I knew my first son at the time was taking care of.
I feel like I’m just being thrown threw walls in my head right now
@sumanacheatham, same girl. Same. Hopefully it gets better for us both soon. It has to at some point, right?
Yep. Here. My doc put me on a beta blocker to help with the physical symptoms of anxiety.
How has it helped and what physical symptoms did you have?
🙋🏻♀️ it hasn’t been easy I started having really bad panic attacks. If you ever need to talk I’m here
👋. I started practicing mindfulness! I also found relief in routine. A lot of my anxiety is from performing as a Mom and doing housework. I made Friday a designated laundry day. I also preplan meals on the weekends. I make enough so I can freeze leftovers for quick meals. DM me if this sounds like it may help you...I can share more!
I requested to follow you and yes I’d love to know more
Me! And to be honest I started taking CBD oil. When that didn’t help much I started smoking high cbd kow thc marijuana. I can tell the difference when I don’t smoke frequently. I start getting crazy heart palpitations
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
If you don't want meds you should still consider talk therapy. Also your best best is to figure what triggers you and go from there. Or what helps you. I agree with above poster I make sure I have designated cleaning days and starting a new routine for me with getting up early to get things done or just get me time before baby wakes. Planning meals and prepping meals. I do a lot more for baby then us but that's a huge help. I like organization so when things are messy my anxiety goes through the roof.
